Since Mozilla announced that would reduce supports to Thunderbird, many are the clients who have tried or are trying to gain a foothold in the market and in the world of distributions. Hence, we are talking today about one of the most unknown but at the same time most interesting clients that I've seen lately.
Nylas N1 is the name of this email client that offers almost the same or more than Thunderbird, although if what you are looking for is simplicity, this email client is what you are looking for. Nylas N1 is a simple client, with a visual appearance very similar to Mac Mail and multi platform. Indeed, Nylas N1 is a client that can be installed on Windows, Mac OS and Gnu / Linux, making it ideal for those who work with several computers with several different operating systems every day.
Furthermore Nylas N1 is open to the developer community. The software is Open Source So in addition to being able to modify what we want, we can also create special plugins that give new functions to the mail client. This is important because will allow us to include any function, either security or any other type of functionality without having to wait for the decisions of a large foundation or company.
Nylas N1 will support totally free plugins
Needless to say, Nylas N1 is compatible with the main email services, that is, we will be able to use our gmail, outlook, yahoo, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange accounts, etc ... Now, we will not be able to use IMAP accounts or SMTP mail, old protocols that few of us use in our day to day life.
In order to install this client is our system, we must first have a distribution that use Deb package or failing that, know how to pass deb packages to other platforms. Once this is over, we go to this link and we download the deb package. The rest you will know what to do, but start with the command
sudo aptitude install n1.deb
Personally I was surprised by this client because it is one of the most beautiful and simple clients that I have found for Gnu / Linux, so much so that one of the most similar clients that I have seen is the one used in Elementary OS, a system that seeks beauty. In terms of functionality, the truth is that it offers the same as Thunderbird, at least what many users use daily What do you think? What do you think of Nylas N1?
